SPACE.com -- Mars Ski Report: Snow is Hard, Dense and Disappearing

More on the Global Warming Crisis on MARS! ! ! !. Can't blame man for this one. Well unless those little solar powered rovers we sent there are causing that. Wait a minute, solar powered vehicles don't put out greenhouse gasses so how can this global warming be possible on Mars? No evil oil or car companies to blame maybe it's mother nature. Maybe that's whats going on here on earth as well. Something to think about isn't it?

Kent school Bible club dispute becomes a federal case

Kent school Bible club dispute becomes a federal case

Court cases like this drive me crazy. I can't be a member of the Lettermen's club in school if I don't have a letter in some type of sport. I can't be part of the band if I don't play an instrument. So why in the world is it a problem if a group of Christians want to form a club to study and hang out together and they only want other Christians in the group? If you want to study together do you want Muslims, Jews, Wicca and others to join and bring their particular faith into the group? No offense meant to those faiths but they are not going to want to study the Bible. There is no reaso they couldn't start their own club in the school. If you had a Rod and Gun club would you want PETA members to join you? Probably not. Why because you'd spend all your time arguing instead of enjoying your favorite passtime. In the case of these girls they want to associate with other Christians and Study with them they don't want to spend their entire meeting arguing whether the Bible or the Koran or the Tora or whatever is the true word of God and trust me that's what their meetings would end up being. So my hat is off to the ADF for taking on the case.

Global warming without man and his horrible automobiles, How can this be? The same thing is happening on Jupiter as well the storms are getting stronger, the temperature is going up. Is it just me or do you thing that maybe it's something OTHER than man that is causing the "global warming" here on Earth? I'm sure somehow the green group and tree huggers will find someway to blame man for the global warming on the other planets. They just haven't figured out how to blame man or George Bush for global warming on the other planets.

I was going through my old photo's and found these from Good Friday 1974 in the Philippines. The paddle is used to break the skin so the penetents can use a flail to whip themselves to demonstrate their repentence for their sins. The man in the white pants was taken a short time after the picture was taken to the hospital. The cuts apparently went too deep into his back or he has a clotting disorder. That last picture is of a man who promised God if his mother got better from a serious illness that he would allow himself to be crucified every good firday for 13 years. I met his mother, she got better and he is honoring his promise. The nails actually go through his hands and the ropes on his arms prevent them from tearing out of his hands. At this time he had done this for 7 years. There was an article in National Geographic with some very good pictures of this event that were taken the same day. This event and these proceedings are not recognized by the Catholic church but that doesn't seem to matter to literally thousands in the Philippines that participate in these type activities all over the country. Most however do not go as far as having themselves nailed to the cross. 

School Picnic

We sure had a lot of fun yesterday at our picnic even though the temperatures we well into the 90's Too bad more folks didn't come out they missed a good time and some good music if I do say so myself.
